THE ENGLTSH-CASE SCANDAL.
English Supposed To BE Still in New York
He Writes Farewell Letters.

The New York Star says that the report that
WIN English succeeded in getting away on the
Etrqrla. after his arrest, is mistake "NIr.
Englishs friends around the Coleman House.
the Star of Monday says. "were industriously
circulating report las. night that he hac hired
tug late Saturday night and had overtaKen
the Cunarder Etruria, which, it was said, had
been delayed off Fire island by the storrl. As
a matter of fact the Etruria was not delayed off
Fire island. and was, consequently. many miles
at sea Saturday night 1t is evident. therefore.
that Mr. English did not rejoin his friends
the voyage to England, although the law would
not have prevented him resunins his journey
bad he SO elected. Those people who
were so persisrently informed at the Cole
man House Saturday that the Indianian was
was occupying room No. 275, were last night
quite skeptical about Mr.. Enslish's alleged de-
parture. Mrs. Case persistently refused TO see
any one yesterday or to discuss her affairs She
referred every one to her lawyers, Howe &
Hummel. The latter ridicule Mr. English's as
sertion that the lady is a black mailer If that
were so,' said Mr.. Hummel, why should she
fall out with him? She was living at his ex-
pense and il she had desired to continue the
relation she could doubtless have got money
from him right along. But she would not live
with him longer, because she found that he was
deceiving her and had no intention of carrying
out his promise to marry her. There are let
tiers. kilograms and other documents to prove
that she IS pure woman and supposed ne
would marry her."
All of the New York papers. except the Star
say that Mr.. English did succeed in getting away
on the Etruria, and his friends here believe that
he is now on the ocean. A New York special
states that Mrs. Case on Sunday received from
Mr.. English the following note, mailed at 2:3O
o'clock:

Mrs. Case hurried to the office of her counsel
greatly excited supposing. in her ignorance of
law, that the escape Of English would cause her
SUIT to be quashed. She was told that he had q
perfect right to go away. and that his absence
would not binder her suit. In addition. to the
note given above, she turned over to her coun-
sci the following letters the first written just
previous to Englishs departure for the steamer
where he was arrested, and the second written
on Saturday morning:
